Why soaking Nuts before Making Raw Cookies?

 

 

Soaking nuts, seeds, and oats in warm water with a pinch of salt before consuming them has become a habit of mine.

 

Benefits of soaking

Soaking nuts and seeds can help to break down the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors in them. So our bodies can properly absorb the nutrients and minerals stored in nuts and seeds.

 

Texture from soaking

Soaking nuts and seeds overnight can also soften these stubborn powerhouses.

The soaking process can result in the fudgiest and chewy No-Bake Double Chocolate Cookies.

 

How to Store These No Bake Double Chocolate Cookies

Short answer: Freezer for as long as you want.

Although they are usually gone quickly in my household.

I usually store them in an airtight container or storage bag in the freezer. When I’m ready to enjoy one or two (or the whole batch), I take them out and sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

They defrost fairly fast. Top it with your favorite ice cream, yogurt or enjoy with a cup of coffee.

Notes

  1. *You can also substitute the almond butter for peanut butter (if not following paleo diet).
  2. ** For Keto option, replace the Medjool dates with 3-4 tbsp keto friendly liquid sweetener and decrease the coconut flour amount to 1 - 2 tbsp
  3. *** Coconut flour can be substituted with oat flour (to add some complex carb in the mix). For this recipe, it needs 1/4 cup oat flour.
